DCS in the register

ESMA’s entry for Digital Currency Services B.V. covers three of the ten MiCA services: custody and administration of crypto-assets (a), exchanging crypto-assets for funds (c) and transfer services (j).

ESMA records no Article 65 notification for Digital Currency Services B.V. The entity may provide its MiCA services to clients in the Netherlands, and needs a notification before it serves other EEA states.

25 of the 28 current entities in the Netherlands were authorised before it. Two other current entities there hold exactly the same service letters.
